The Seamstresses & Sewers of Durango came together early in the Covid-19 crisis to provide essential soft good to medical facilities in the Four Corners Region, ably supported by Stitch who provided initial patterns.
MakerLab members & Fort Lewis college ensured that the sewing group had a good supply of non-woven house wrap cut to shape ready to be assembled into gowns.
